Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. |
|
Life itself was in him, and this life gives light to everyone. |
|
The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was going to come into the world. |
|
Jesus said to the people, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won't be stumbling through the darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life." |
|
But while I am still here in the world, I am the light of the world." |
|
Jesus replied, "My light will shine out for you just a little while longer. Walk in it while you can, so you will not stumble when the darkness falls. If you walk in the darkness, you cannot see where you are going. |
|
Believe in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light." After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them. |
|
I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness. |
|
For this is as the Lord commanded us when he said, `I have made you a light to the Gentiles, to bring salvation to the farthest corners of the earth.'* " |
|
to open their eyes so they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God's people, who are set apart by faith in me.' |
|
The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So don't live in darkness. Get rid of your evil deeds. Shed them like dirty clothes. Clothe yourselves with the armor of right living, as those who live in the light. |
|
Satan, the god of this evil world, has blinded the minds of those who don't believe, so they are unable to see the glorious light of the Good News that is shining upon them. They don't understand the message we preach about the glory of Christ, who is the exact likeness of God. |
|
For God, who said, "Let there be light in the darkness," has made us understand that this light is the brightness of the glory of God that is seen in the face of Jesus Christ. |
|
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? |
|
I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the wonderful future he has promised to those he called. I want you to realize what a rich and glorious inheritance he has given to his people.* |
|
For though your hearts were once full of darkness, now you are full of light from the Lord, and your behavior should show it! |
|
For this light within you produces only what is good and right and true. |
|
And where your light shines, it will expose their evil deeds. This is why it is said, "Awake, O sleeper, rise up from the dead, and Christ will give you light." |
|
always thanking the Father, who has enabled you to share the inheritance that belongs to God's holy people, who live in the light. |
|
For you are all children of the light and of the day; we don't belong to darkness and night. |
|
But let us who live in the light think clearly, protected by the body armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. |
|
… for you are a chosen people. You are a kingdom of priests, God's holy nation, his very own possession. This is so you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. |
|
Because of that, we have even greater confidence in the message proclaimed by the prophets. Pay close attention to what they wrote, for their words are like a light shining in a dark place--until the day Christ appears and his brilliant light shines in your hearts.* |
|
This is the message he has given us to announce to you: God is light and there is no darkness in him at all. |
|
But if we are living in the light of God's presence, just as Christ is, then we have fellowship with each other, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, cleanses us from every sin. |
|
Yet it is also new. This commandment is true in Christ and is true among you, because the darkness is disappearing and the true light is already shining. |
|
And the city has no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God illuminates the city, and the Lamb is its light. |
|
And there shall be no night there; and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever. |
